Summerfield Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
(English) Dweller at Summer’s Field [v. under Summer, and + Middle English O.E. feld] (French) for Somerville, q.v.
(English, German) Dweller at, or near, a field used by sheep or cattle in the summer.
The same as Somerfield, Somervail, Somervell, Summerwill, corrupted from Somerville.
Summerfield: derive from Somerville, now Sommervieux, near Caen. Roger de Somerville was summoned to Parliament as a Baron, and died in 1327. Roger’s son was the Sir Philip to whom John of Gaunt granted an estate on condition that he should keep a flitch of bacon hanging in his hall at Wichnor at all times of the year except in Lent, to be given to any man who could take oath that he had not repented after having been married a year and a day, and could bring with him a couple of witnesses to confirm his words. “Of the few that have ventured to claim the prize, three couple only have obtained it, one of which, having quarrelled about the mode of preserving it, were adjudged to return it. The other two couples were a sea-officer and his wife, who had not seen each other from the day of their marriage till they met in Wichnor Hall; and a simple couple in the neighbourhood, the husband a good-tempered man and the wife dumb.” So little prospect is there of the flitch being claimed that it is now made of wood and hung up in the lodge.
